Backwoods Bastard (2020)

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

Barrel aged beers from Founders are so good. I’m progressing in my Scotch appreciation.

Dit bier is geweldig, bijna 5 sterren. In Berghuis ben ik teleurgesteld, die is solo verantwoordelijk voor deze deceptie 😡

Bottle 4 share. Mon 2/15. 2020 version of a fave. Wee-Heavy's are one of my favorite styles. This nails all the good stuff! Dark fruit, oak, smoke, vanilla & caramel. Bourbon barrel is a plus. Better as it warms. Not boozy for an 11% ABV. Yum!

I have not had this in several years and was happy to find the latest version in the store. While good it is not as thick as past versions. Mouthfeel is kind of thin but still a nice scotch ale.

Still a little hot. Maybe 2023 would be best

Going deep in the archives during the deep freeze here, rewatch highlights of the Twins two WS wins. Claude remembers them well, w a newborn whelp at the teat for each. We celebrate both wins w a personal fav of ours!

De vatrijping komt goed naar voren omdat het een Ale is ipv Een stout 👌🏼

Please no, say it ain't so. Bourbon nose still, but the mouth feel...the buttery goodness is gone. It got thin....WTF Founder's?

It's great, but I think the barrel overtakes the beer a bit too much.

You Bastard! So yummy, this Scottish ale has some subtle sweet caramel notes and the barrel aging is just right for an easy sipping beer!

W aromacie piękny Bourbon, wanilia, kokos. W smaku drewno, wanilia, trochę ciemnych owoców, karmel. Pyszka.
